Welcome to the General Discussion area where just about anything goes! This area is designed to discuss all matters and does not necessarily have to be Transformers related. Please keep topics relevant.

Spoiler tags? Really? Anybody who knows the slightest bit of Trek lore can have a pretty good guess at where they're going with this. But if that's what we're doing then fair enough.

I can see bits in that trailer that would point to the Cumberbatch part being Mitchell rather than Khan. If they were going with Khan I would have loved to see the title on this one being Star Trek: Botany Bay, but maybe that's just me.

Rumor is, the ship is getting a slight refit. Apparently, as the films go on, it'll evolve more and more into the TOS movieverse Enterprise with Abrams' design choices. It's supposed to be the best of both worlds. I can't wait to see what the final design for the new movieverse Enterprise is supposed to look like.

Oh, and as for comics and films not going hand in hand, I can't even begin to tell you how many times that has happened. Just because one storyline happened in the comics or the film, doesn't mean it will happen in the other.

The Bayverse is a perfect example of this. IDW can churn out whatever they want, but as long as Bay, Kruger and the producers have final say, the movies can be a completely different story and ignore all other media if they so choose.

No offense folks, but the sooner you come to terms with that fact, the sooner it won't be gnawing at your soul and sanity.

If that is the case then that is awesome! I really liked the look of the refitted Enterprise/Enterprise A.

That may be true, expect that Roberto Orci is overseeing them, and I highly doubt that he would let the writers put something in them that would directly contradict what he and Kurtzman had planned for the sequel.

...Orci & Kurtzman produce Prime and I'm sure the comics have contradicted their work a time or two. Not to mention, the movies clearly weren't all their work. The comics and the movies don't line up.

All I'm saying is, if Paramount wants the movie to go a certain way and the comics don't fit it, the comics get screwed. Movies will always trump comics with the audience and the bank. Comics are profitable, yes, but movies will always be more so.
